4 Features you cannot find in the documentation as working, should be
5 mentioned here. This is an assorted collection of stuff that will be
6 done, might be done, or is an idea that we want to think about.
8 Most of the items are marked in the code as well
9 Grep -i for TODO, FIXME and ugh/ugr/urg.
12 . * agressive type-checking for SCM stuff.
14 . *make a TODO.texi, like http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ideas.html
15 . * make this file understandable for 3rd parties.
16 . * \accepts -> \acceptedby
17 . * context in embedded SCM errors.
18 . * eradicate all VIRTUAL_COPY_CONS () macros ; use indexed creation,
21 ctor_dict["Score_element"]->clone_func (orig);
22 ctor_dict["Score_element"]->create_func ();
23 . * acc at tied note after linebreak.
24 . * fix font-naming and selecting
25 . * fix naming: \interline Context.staffLineLeading, staff_line_leading (),
26 staff_position staff_space
27 . * chord tonic: placement of accidental C#, Cb (from scm and C++)
28 . * note head on stem err msg in dutch.
29 . * why need to run -C mf twice?
30 . * here's no difference at all in output. When either is jacked up to 7.0,
31 everything works and matches up; when either is set just a bit above the
32 default 5.0 (5.4 is what I was hoping to use), stems miss note heads. So
33 it's some sort of a numerical (truncation/roundoff) problem.
35 . * fix #'margin-shape; setting indent to 0 with \shape fails
36 . * Fixed size staff/system heights;
38 . * ly2dvi : don't repeat opus if same.
39 . * hara kiri _8 clef.
42 . * fix or replace feta-accordion.mf
46 - if I change the property minVerticalAlign in a multi staff score with
47 lyrics the change affects the lyrics too. I would like the change to
50 - I would like to be able to influence the sloping of xtuplet brackets
52 - for one of my test scores containing a modern edition of an early
53 17'th century composition I have a leading measure containing the
54 orginal clefs and note values of the original composition. I use the
55 a"harmonic" and "diamond" note head styles for that measure and would
56 like to have the stems of these notes _centered_ on the notehead as in
57 the mensural music notation.
59 - after the leading measure in the above mentioned score I want a double
60 bar line fully drawn across the staves and after that keep to the
61 ChoirStaff bar line types in the rest of the scores
63 . * make all Feta (including dynamics) available to the user in
64 textual scripts. Examples: "D.S. al \coda", "\mf espress.".
65 . * Write script that uses --find-old-relative to do auto relativization.
66 . * Junk shared cruft (duration, moment) in lib/
70 . * \$ and $ identifier syntax in examples.
71 . * Junk ghost positioning objects eg, Script leans on Staffside
73 . * Key_engraver, Local_key_item
74 . * Think of comprehensive solution for "if (grace_b == self_grace_b_)"
75 . * String[String.length] doesn't trap.
76 . * Rhythmic_column and interaction stem/rhythmic_column/note_head/dots.
80 . * Lookup::text -> needs to be TeX independent.
81 . * junk Music_iterator::first_b_
85 . * half-sharps, half-flats
86 . * adaptive accidental spacing.
87 . * accidentals closer to note head
91 . * [c8. c16 c16 c16] in 6/8 timesig.
92 . * Rewrite Stem, Beam (hairy)
93 . * general shaving on Beam and Stem
96 . * Rests and beams don't work too well together. Example:
97 [ r8 g''16 des'] [r8 c16 a]
98 . * autoBeamMelisma: if I explicitly beam notes in a staff with auto
99 beaming disabled I would like to have these beams also to be
101 . * The stemLength property should affect also beamed stems.
102 . * staffside spanner (crescendo!) along with staffswitch.
103 . * * auto melismaBusy for beams.
110 . * sort out breve shapes.
111 . * \time forces keysig?
114 . * We need feta-din*.mf files for more sizes than 10.
115 . * align left edge of broken tuplet-spanner (have a test case?)
116 . * fix dynamics decently, ie. use kerning & ligatures.
117 . * key restorations & repeats
118 . * paperXX.ly \quartwidth, font setting not up to date. (Should read from AFM?)
119 . *In Caro Mio Ben, bar 8, there's a syllable that starts on a note, and
120 ends on a pair of grace notes. Standard practice is to mark this with
121 a slur starting on the main note and ending on the grace note, so a
122 singer knows where to break the words.
124 In bar 27, there's a crescendo that's supposed to start at the start
125 of the grace notes and extend to the note after the grace notes.
126 . * 4. Lyrics and grace sections don't go too well together.
127 The words are aligned with the main note, not the start of the
128 grace note. This is usually wrong, but is sometimes right.
130 . * repeats and partial measures.
131 . * rhythmic staff & accidentals.
132 . * use melismaBusy in Lyric context to typeset melismata correctly.
133 . * ly2dvi/lilypond logfile.
134 . * hang Item on Spanner
135 . * do --safe for PS output?
137 . * collision of lyrics with span_bars. See star-spangled.
138 . * It is impossible to typeset two textual scripts that are stacked
139 on top of eachother and avoids note collisions and at the same
140 time are typeset with different textStyle. I tried to move around
141 the text_engraver and other engravers between Voice and Thread
142 but the granularity is not fine enough, the scripts have to
143 share the same engraver in order to be get correct vertical
144 position but than they cannot have different style.
145 In my opinion, all scripts that share the same staff, should
146 be stacked vertically, avoiding collisions with the notes
150 . * don't shorten stems/staffs closer to each other.
151 . * to space the staffs/staffgroups contained in the score.
154 . * tuplets that are written as "number : note", for example
155 "3 : [image of a half note here]". possible?
156 . * a note with a circle after it, meaning:
158 note + circle = note + 1/4 of its length
160 the circle is like a dot that's not filled in. for example, on
161 page three, the c-sharp on the second line should be a quarter with
162 a circle, not a quarter tied to a sixteenth. is this at all
164 . * make dependencies () a virtual function.
165 . * deprecate hangOnClef.
166 . * Abstraction for engravers:
167 . * make "in-between" engraver (Tie)
168 . * make wide_spanner_engraver (line_group_spanner, staff_symbol)
169 . * store req -> element, element -> element causes for warnings
170 . * compulsory hshift
171 . * My wish list for lyrics. I dream of a time when I will have enough time to
172 become familiar enough with the source code to be able to implement some of
173 these myself, but I don't know when that will be, so I thought I'd "publish"
174 my suggestions in case someone else is in a position to give them some
175 priority. Otherwise, perhaps they could go on the todo list?
177 If any of these are already implemented, please let me what the syntax is to
180 1. Stanza numbering. Numbering at the beginning of a song with the number
181 set to the left of the first note. It would also be nice (but not as
182 important) to be able to have some form of automatic numbering at the
183 beginning of each new line. This would make it easier to follow songs with a
184 large number of stanzas.
186 3. Notes centred above/below lyrics rather than left-aligned.
188 4. It would be very nice to be able to build some kind of phrasing into the
189 lyrics of hymns, etc, so that the first words of a phrase are left aligned
190 with each other, the last words are right aligned, and the words in between
193 5. In a song, with (say) four stanzas and a chorus, it would be nice to be
194 able to vertically align the chorus midway between the staves.
196 6. It would be nice to be able to put vertical brackets either side of a
197 repeated section with different words for each repeat.

234 think about, analogous to pitch:

238 . * make sure all ex's have a mudela-version
239 . * do rest-collisions for Multi_measure_rests as well.

414 > Would it be hard to add support for proper dynamics in MIDI output? I
415 > would really like to have this feature...
417 Concretely spoken, for dynamics you have to write a performer
418 (Dynamics_performer), that will take the input requests. If I
419 understand correctly, every MIDI note played must have its dynamic
420 strength set separately. That means the the Dynamics_performer must
421 set the strength of every Audio_note it finds. This means that one
422 has to modify existing Audio items. The best way of doing this is
423 with a broadcast/acknowledge process.
425 So the best way of handling this, is
427 1 supporting dynamic settings in Audio_note
429 2 Write a Dynamics_performer that will modify
430 any notes it finds to set appropriate strengths.
432 I'd say that the work involved is not hard, but you have to be fluent
433 with C++ and need some insight into the working of Notation Contexts
434 and friends. I guess I could do it in a day or so, but if you are not
435 so fluent with the inner workings of LilyPond, it could take you some
436 more time (A few more days?).
438 Please note, that I am *not* going to code this myself: my days are
439 valuable, and I think I have more interesting things to do than fixing
440 the MIDI output (I don't even have a soundcard). But I *do* want to help
441 you or other people with implementing this, so if you need help, don't
